hello brothers,

Over 3 years ago I applied to a very big Police Department, I passed everything but was put on review for psych and was sent a letter a year later stating I had failed. I had put on the written that I had seen a psych when I was 17, which I didn’t believe was an issue, I believe that may have been why I was disqualified. I really feel like I got a raw deal that time around, but thats in the passed and I am looking foward.. Now I have just passed a psychical agility for a Corrections Department. I am really praying everything goes right. There are lots of guys retiring soon and not many persons passed the agility test. (only 9, they are looking to hire 5 right now and 4 more at the end of year supposedely)What do you guys think my chances are at getting hired: Here are some of my good point and bad points of my past

Bad:
Three Prior Arrests- 18 Years old- Shoplifting- Convicted of disorderly Conduct.
20 years old- Disorderly Conduct- Result was ACD
23 Years old- Disorderly Conduct- Resisting Arrest
Prior Disqualification from Police Department.
Since I was 15 also Ive had over 10 jobs (25 now). however many of these were temp positions (summer jobs) when I was home from college, I have never been fired once in my life. Or written up. Will they understand that?

Good Points:
I am currently employed as a Private Investigator. I also have years experience in Security and bouncing.
I am very imposing physically
I have never used drugs before.
I am a born again christian, I found myself a year ago, and since my life has been wonderful (Should I even tell them this at the interview)
I have over 10 Police Officers who will vouch for me as references.

Also for my shoplifting arrest (19 years old), I take responsibility for, I will not sugar coat it, what I did was wrong but that is behind me. the Disorderly conduct’s I was collared for are a different story, the 1st one(21 years old) I was left a bar for some pizza, and they wouldnt let me in because I didnt have a stamp (my jacket with my keys was in the coat room, so I insisted on being let back in, and was collared), and the other discon(23 years old) there was an altercation with a guy I knew whom was using my cell phone, I was inside of the bar, when I walked outside I saw the cops had taken him down to the ground, and my phone was broken on the floor, I was told to leave and just requested that I could get my phone together and be on my way. Then was collared for Dis-Con and resisting.

Please give me some advice guys, I have also been told by some in LE, that I should neglect to tell them I was ever DQ’ed from a Police department in the past. I think it was my honesty about seeing a shrink and not the arrest that got me DQed the last time (when I was 21). As my background inv. told me everything was fine with my background last time I applied, and pretty much told me I was in the academy pending the psych, but I failed the psych. Any of your advice on what to say during interview would be greatly appreciated. I would really be estatic to get this job, almost all of my family is in Law Enforcement. I have mad some mistakes, But I am a good, honest person. I look foward to hearing from you brothers

Now I hear Police Officers will have helmet mounted cams too. It turns out over 4 million cameras are in use in the UK.

thank you for your advise. I really hope this goes well. Also I should add, I was never convicted of any crime Technically in my life only dis-con. Also, Yes I am hoping I can get into Corrections to Transfer sometime to Sherriff patrol in some time as I am from Law Enforcement family, and I have made some bad judgements in my past but I feel I could be an asset to Law Enforcement.
